Come join us in honoring those we have lost to anti-Trans* violence. Professor H. Adam Ackley will be our guest speaker followed by a candle light memorial lead by the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life. More on H. Adam Ackley http://youtu.be/-jsTvoceZjM

"The Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people -- sometimes in the most brutal ways possible -- it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice." - Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith
